evil optimizer

I've got a query that the optimizer never returns from:

select events.event_id, events.hostdate, events.ts, events.priority,
tags.tag_name, events.stack,
messages.message,
usernames.user_name as user_name,
wwwusers.user_name as wwwuser,
files.file_name as filename,
scripts.file_name as scriptname,
events.linenum
from events, tags, messages, usernames, usernames as wwwusers,
files, files as scripts
where events.tag_id=tags.tag_id
and events.message_id=messages.message_id
and usernames.user_id = events.user_id
and wwwusers.user_id = events.wwwuser_id
and files.file_id = events.file_id
and scripts.file_id = events.script_id

...is there anything in there that looks like it should confuse
it? The table definition is attached. It will fail even if I have no
data at all, so it should be easy to reproduce:

createdb events
psql -f events.sql events
psql events
events> select * from event_view;

That's all it takes.
